Have you heard about reactive applications? Do you know how to get started? In this session, we'll learn how to implement a full stack web application that consumes events generated by Kubernetes reactively.

Using the "Yet Another Kubernetes Dashboard (YAKD)" project [1] as an example, we'll go through its architecture and what challenges lie behind the technical decisions.

We'll see how to stream Kubernetes resource events using a resilient backend built with Quarkus. Then we'll analyze how this events can be asynchronously consumed from a ReactJS frontend leveraging a Redux store to replicate the state of the Kubernetes cluster objects.

By the end of this talk, you should be able to get started building your own reactive applications using a similar architecture as that showcased by YAKD. You should also be able to understand what are the advantages and tradeoffs of this kind of applications.
